Chapter 390: 390
Qin Haodong said, “Got it, Sister Liu . It’s fine as long as the purchased medicinal materials are used on the same day . Leave the rest to us . We’ll figure it out . ”

Liu Yage nodded, then turned and left the office .
Qin Haodong said again, “I didn’t expect that there would be another incident with purchasing medicinal materials after only a few days . It seems that for the sake of the Chinese medicine industry, it’s best that we control the wholesale market of medicinal materials . ”
Lin Momo said, “I have also thought about this . After Wang Dacheng caused trouble last time, I went to find someone to calculate the funding budget . If you want to fully acquire the Chinese medicine wholesale market, you will need at least three billion yuan . We are currently short on funds, so I put it aside for the time being . I didn’t expect it to be bought by someone else so soon . ”
Qin Haodong said, “Three billion yuan? It is indeed not a small sum . ”
Although they currently had two pharmaceutical companies in production, they had not yet reached the profit stage . They did not have a lot of capital . Read more at listnovel . com
Lin Momo frowned and said, “I wonder who bought the medicine market . Generally speaking, it is not appropriate to have large price fluctuations when the acquisition has just been completed . They suddenly increased the herb price a lot . Is it on impulse, or are they targeting us?”
“There’s no use guessing . We’ll know once we ask around . ” Read more at listnovel . com
After Qin Haodong spoke, he pulled out his cell phone and called Wang Rubing . The Government had to know about such a big acquisition .
“Haodong, what’s up?”
Wang Rubing’s voice was steady . It seemed that her mood had returned to normal .
“How is it going on your side? How are things with Zhang Hao?”
“It’s okay . Much better than yesterday, but the mood is still low . ”
“It will take a while for anyone who experiences this situation to digest everything . It will gradually get better . ” After talking about Zhang Hao, Qin Haodong said, “Sister, I want to ask you about something . I heard that a foreign company bought the wholesale market for Chinese traditional medicine . Are you aware of their situation?”
Wang Rubing said, “I know this . The acquisition was completed yesterday . It was a major success for the merchant bureau in attracting investment . The specific details have been reported . ”
“What are the specific details? Who is the investor?”
“It’s Yagyuu Corporation from Japan . They invested three billion yuan to acquire the Chinese herb market . I heard they are going to make it stronger and bigger . ”

Wang Rubing said, “The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs put together an investigative group and sent it to Jiangnan City . The head of the group is Yagyuu Yukime . This was very important for the merchant bureau . I heard tonight that they organized a banquet south of the Yangtze River hotel . Given the scale and influence of Tangmen Company, you should be able to receive an invitation . Don’t you know about this?”
“I just returned, so I’m still unclear on the specific details,” Qin Haodong said thoughtfully, “Yagyuu Corporation, Yagyuu Yukime . I didn’t expect it to be them . I can’t believe they are here so soon . ”
Wang Rubing said, “Why? Are you close with them?”
Qin Haodong said, “Of course I am . Yagyuu Hirai, who kidnapped you last time, is from Yagyuu Corporation . I’m guessing they came to Huaxia this time to do more than just talk about business . They must have another purpose . ”
“It’s them . Haodong, are they here to take revenge?”
Wang Rubing immediately became nervous when she heard that these were the people who had kidnapped her .
“You don’t need to be nervous . Since they came to Huaxia through the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they probably won’t do anything that’s out of line . At least it seems that way on the surface . ”
Qin Haodong said after thinking for a bit, “But it’s better to be careful . I will arrange a few people to protect you for a few days . Don’t worry, if they are here for me, then things will be taken care of very quickly . ”
When she thought about Yagyuu Hirai’s people, who Qin Haodong had killed, Wang Rubing said, “Haodong, the Japanese came here through the authorities this time . You must be careful and discrete . ”
“I know . ”
Qin Haodong hung up . He turned around and called Saber over before asking him to assign two capable employees of Daddy Security Company to protect Wang Rubing .
After he finished organizing everything, Lin Momo asked, “Is everything clear now? What is going on?”
“The Japanese Yagyuu family acquired the Chinese herb wholesale market . Some time ago, I killed nearly 100 of the Yagyuu family’s experts in Huaxia . You could say that their hatred is as deep as the sea . This time, they suddenly came to Huaxia, so they must be here for me . ”
Lin Momo said a little nervously, “Then what should we do?”
“I don’t think the Yagyuu family came to Huaxia just to acquire a Chinese herb wholesale market . They must have another purpose . Let’s not panic . We’ll wait and see,” Qin Haodong said, “I heard the merchant bureau held a banquet for the Japanese delegation . Did we receive an invitation?”
Lin Momo said, “You just reminded me . I almost forgot that we did receive an invitation yesterday afternoon . I wasn’t planning on going, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it . ”

After going through that situation with the Wang family’s Chamber of Commerce from the south of the Yangtze River last time, she was a bit conflicted with things like banquets . Therefore, after she had received the invitation, she had immediately thrown it aside .
While talking, she took out an exquisitely-crafted invitation from her desk and gave it to Qin Haodong .
Qin Haodong took it to have a look . On the back, it was signed by Jiangnan City’s Merchant Bureau and Yagyuu Corporation . The banquet had been organized by both parties .
He put down the invitation and told Lin Momo, “Go get ready . We will go together tonight . ”
“We are really going?”
“Of course . Otherwise, how could we discover the ace up the Yagyuu family’s sleeve? We need to resolve everything regarding the Chinese herb wholesale market as soon as possible . Otherwise, we will face pressure to increase costs every day . ”
Lin Momo nodded . That was true . They needed to resolve this issue right now .
“You do your thing . I will go make some preparations . ”
After he spoke, Qin Haodong turned and left his room . Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win 100 battles . He needed to fully understand the Yagyuu family’s situation before they confronted each other .
First, he called Qi Waner to ask her to collect information regarding the Yagyuu family . Then, he called Hu Xiaoxian .
Hu Xiaoxian’s charming voice came through the phone soon . “Little man, how come you are calling me? Do you need my help with something again?”
Qin Haodong said awkwardly, “Uh… I want to ask you something . ”
“I know you wouldn’t think of me if you didn’t need anything . Doesn’t matter . You’re my little man after all . So, what do you want to ask?”
Qin Haodong briefly explained that Yagyuu Yukime was leading a delegation to Huaxia before he said, “I want to know why the Yagyuu family came to Huaxia, as well as any other information regarding the Yagyuu family . ”
Hu Xiaoxian said, “I started to pay attention to the Yagyuu family after the battle last time . I have collected a lot of relevant information .
The Yagyuu family suffered a big loss after around 100 of their experts were killed, especially their First Elder, Yagyuu Ken . In order to avoid being swallowed by other families, their defense has been shrinking .

The Yagyuu family’s recent financial status hasn’t been very good either . I’m guessing that they came to Huaxia to resolve this problem . However, I’m not sure exactly what methods they are using…”
She went on and on, telling Qin Haodong all the information she knew .
After listening, Qin Haodong asked, “How much do you know about this woman named Yagyuu Yukime?”
Hu Xiaoxian said, “Yagyuu Yukime is very famous in Japan . She was known as the most promising Talented Beauty . At the age of 16, she stepped into the Yagyuu Ken family’s ninja rankings that were above three stars . That is equal to a Huaxia expert with level-nine Covert Power .
After she became an adult, she received the nickname of a two-sided beauty . She was sometimes cold as an iceberg and sometimes warm as a flame . People found it difficult to understand her character, so she was called two-sided .
There was a total of 16 words about her in the Xuanyuan Pavilion’s archive: As beautiful as a flower, the heart of a devil, changeable personality, and superb skill . ”
“Two-faced beauty? That’s very interesting . ” Qin Haodong smiled playfully .
“Little man, your thoughts didn’t get crooked when you heard she is beautiful, did they? Listen to me, Yagyuu Yukime is not a normal woman . People don’t say she has the heart of a devil for no reason . She once kicked five men’s balls and cut them off . If you meet her, you need to protect your jewels . ”
“Uh…” Black lines appeared on Qin Haodong’s head as he said, “Don’t worry . I wouldn’t take a fancy to this woman even if she took off all her clothes . ”
“Don’t be so confident . Wait until you meet Yagyuu Yukime first . That woman is indeed very beautiful . She might take your breath away . ”
Hu Xiaoxian laughed before hanging up the phone .
At that moment, the information Qi Waner had inquired about came through on the computer . Qin Haodong briefly looked at it . The information was similar to what Hu Xiaoxian had told him .
However, the list of the members in the Japanese delegation group surprised him a little . Apart from Yagyuu Yukime, the others were all ordinary people . None of them were warriors . For a moment, he didn’t quite understand the Yagyuu family’s intentions .
Although Yagyuu Yukime was only one person, she was an expert half-step at the supreme power level, which was enough to attract Qin Haodong’s attention .
After he collected this information, he saw that there was still a little time left until the banquet . Thus, he took out the elixir furnace and refined two more elixir pills .
When he walked out of his office again, it was close to evening . Lin Momo had changed into a black, deep V-neck dress, and on her head was a beautiful studded headpiece . Overall, she looked more retro than usual . The dress gave off a strong design sense, as she looked sexy but not indecent . Her exquisite facial features exuded her charm, making Qin Haodong’s eyes lit up .
He smiled with open arms . “My child’s mother, you are very beautiful . Come and give me a kiss . ”
“Stop it . Hurry up and change clothes . It’s almost time . ” Lin Momo pushed Qin Haodong away as she pointed to a tuxedo hanging on the side .
“I also need to change?”
“Of course! When you attend a banquet like this, you need to dress more formally . ”
“Alright then!”
Qin Haodong began changing as he spoke . There were no changes when it came to men’s business and party attire . A simple white shirt with a black tuxedo and a black bow tie would do .
However, Qin Haodong was already very handsome . In combination with his close-to-perfect figure, he exuded a different aura while wearing such a suit .
After he changed, he asked Lin Momo, “What do you think? Could I seduce a rich woman?”
Lin Momo gave him a death stare . “You still want to seduce someone? Are you saying you don’t have enough women?”
“Uh… Let’s go, we are going to be late . ”
Qin Haodong quickly took Lin Momo’s hand as they walked out together .
The Yagyuu Corporation had come to Huaxia and received the warm hospitality of Jiangnan City’s merchants . Tonight, they had specially organized a business banquet and invited many entrepreneurs from Jiangnan City to attend it . They wanted to enhance friendly exchanges between the two sides and increase the opportunities for joint ventures and cooperation .
The reception started at 7 p . m . at the Dreamy Jiangnan Hotel .
What was different this time was that the banquet was held at the hotel’s garden, where there was green grass, singing birds, and fragrant flowers . All this, coupled with the beautiful lighting, made people feel more comfortable than at a reception held indoors .
Yagyuu Corporation was the main leader of the banquet, so its personnel arrived very early . Among the crowd was a tall, slim, curvaceous figure that attracted people’s attention . It was Yagyuu Yukime, also known as the two-faced witch .
